Pressurised gas cylinders cannot be disposed of in garbage trucks or at landfills, as they present a danger when compacted. Therefore they must be collected separately.

Cylinders can be refilled many times in their life. Options for refilling or safe disposal include:

Kwik Gas Cylinder Exchange ServiceThis is a national cylinder swap service, where you swap your empty cylinder for a new or refurbished filled one. Retail locations are across Australia in selected service stations such as Quix, Caltex, Mobil, Shell and BP outlets, Bunnings Warehouse and others including caravan parks and convenience stores.

Information about the manufacturer should be marked on the cylinder. Cylinders without any identifiable markings should be returned to the original source / agent. Re-fillers may be able to provide further information.(Source WSN NSW)
